"Pyramid Club"

This interesting landmark is a former popular "night spot" outside of Beaver Dam WI established in the mid 60's. It was the go to place for the "privileged". That was probably it's downfall. Beaver Dam at that time was a small town of about 10,000 with many of the residents working in the factories ... Green Giant, Monarch Range, or running a dairy farm, etc. Blue collar jobs ... folks that could not realistically afford to go to the "supper club"!

It opened with great fanfare ... those that were members were ecstatic ... those who were not were wondering what a pyramid was doing in the middle of dairy country? As with any new obscure venture, it failed. Ownership changed and it opened to the public and survived for a few years. But then, the economy took a dump ... many owners later and here it sits. Over the years the second floor was converted to owner quarters ... ground level sits empty ... and there is a very faded worn realtor "for sale" yard at highway entrance.

Kind of sad to see ... but you do have to wonder why a "Pyramid"?
